How to use

Place the wooden shelter/platform inside the cage on a stable, level area where pets can easily access it. Use it as a raised resting spot by setting it at ground level or as a hideout by leaving the underside free for entry. Ensure the platform is positioned to avoid obstructing doors or feeders and to maintain good airflow within the enclosure. Regularly check the wooden surface for signs of wear, chewing, or soiling and replace or clean as needed following standard cage maintenance practices.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the shelter periodically for splinters or damage and remove from the enclosure if it becomes unsafe. Provide appropriate bedding and monitor pet interactions with the wood; consider using chew-safe toys or alternatives if excessive chewing is observed. For hygiene, spot-clean the surface and allow it to dry thoroughly before returning it to the cage.
